Chapter 962: Who Fell into the Illusion?

"Whoosh!"

Just as Ye Yuan and Yue Mengli emerged from the Yin-Yang Reversal Grand Formation, a figure suddenly darted out and attacked them.

"Boom!"

Ye Yuan reacted swiftly, summoning the Haotian Tower and directly obliterating that figure.

This green-robed man was not weak, having reached the Daoxuan realm.

Yet under the suppression of the Haotian Tower, he was directly wiped out.

Ye Yuan frowned slightly and said, "There are actually others within this Yellow Millet Mountain?"

This green-robed man was clearly not among those outside earlier, so Ye Yuan found it very strange.

Li'er said, "The name Yellow Millet Mountain comes from the 'Yellow Millet Dream'! The space here has extremely powerful illusions. Even Divine King powerhouses can fall into them! In this space, one can fall into an illusion at any time. Once unable to extricate oneself, one will sink forever in the illusion, becoming a walking corpse."

Ye Yuan was astonished. How powerful must an illusion be to cause a Divine King to sink?

It was said that the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye could see through all falsehoods and also make one sink forever. It seemed the rumors were true.

No wonder everyone thought the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye was in Yellow Millet Mountain—so this was the reason.

Ye Yuan looked around and saw faint signs of people moving in the mountains, all apparently martial artists who had completely fallen into the illusion.

The Sun-Moon Realm had existed for at least a hundred thousand years. Even if it opened only once every three hundred years, the number of walking corpses accumulated in Yellow Millet Mountain was terrifying.

After all, every time it opened, some people would take a gamble, thinking they could obtain the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye. But in the end, they were trapped here.

"The Yue family has forbidden its disciples from entering Yellow Millet Mountain, but every time the secret realm opens, some still go in," Yue Mengli said with a somber expression.

Many of these walking corpses were her clansmen, so seeing them naturally made her feel bad.

Ye Yuan comforted her, "Perhaps once we obtain the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, we can rescue them."

The light screen flickered, and someone else emerged from the Yin-Yang Reversal Grand Formation—it was Han Tong and his group!

They had entered the formation before Ye Yuan but came out slower than him.

Seeing Ye Yuan, a flicker of surprise passed over Han Tong and the others' faces.

Han Tong looked at Ye Yuan with a hostile expression and was about to make a move when the light screen flickered again, and Yue Lingyu also came out of the formation.

Han Tong inwardly regretted that if Yue Lingyu had come out a little later, he could have captured Ye Yuan.

He also coveted the quasi-divine artifact in Ye Yuan's hands.

"Let's go!"

Han Tong snorted coldly and led his group into the moonlight, disappearing from sight.

Ahead, bursts of powerful Yuan force fluctuations came from time to time, indicating that Han Tong and his men had already engaged the walking corpses.

Before long, Zhou Boping also emerged from the formation with Zhou Yan. Judging by the time, it seemed Zhou Boping's strength was still slightly inferior to Yue Lingyu's.

"Let's head for the main peak too. Everyone be careful, don't fall into an illusion. On Yellow Millet Mountain, even Divine Kings cannot fly; we can only walk. In a hundred thousand years, no one has ever reached the main peak. I wonder if we can make it," Yue Lingyu said with a grave expression.

Behind them, many powerful martial artists were still trying to break through the formation, but whether they could get out depended on their own luck.

In this space, even a powerhouse of Yue Lingyu's level might not be able to protect themselves, so they truly had no energy to look after others.

All along the way, Zhou Boping and Yue Lingyu led the way, leaving Ye Yuan and the others to enjoy a leisurely time.

However, Ye Yuan noticed that the scenery along the roadside seemed identical, never changing.

He had maintained a heart as firm as a rock and could be sure he was not hallucinating. Yet the roadside scenery gave an extremely unreal feeling.

In fact, ever since entering the Haori Mingyue Realm, Ye Yuan had felt a strange sensation.

But he could not pinpoint exactly what was strange.

Just then, Yue Lingyu's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a deep voice, "Not good, it seems we are surrounded! There are several very powerful auras. Zhou Boping, be careful."

Zhou Boping's face was also ashen. He nodded and said to Zhou Yan, "Yan'er, among these walking corpses there are Divine King-level experts. I may not be able to focus on you later. Be careful yourself!"

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Granduncle, rest assured. Yan'er knows his limits!"

Without looking back, Yue Lingyu instructed Yue Jianfeng, "Jianfeng, Ye Yuan and Li'er are in your care!"

"Yes!" Yue Jianfeng said in a deep voice.

Soon, shadows flickered in the forest, and a large number of dark figures appeared.

Each of these dark figures had a very powerful aura, and two of them had even reached the Divine King realm!

Yue Lingyu's face turned cold, and she suddenly struck out with a palm.

"Boom!"

A Divine King's palm strike was terrifyingly imposing, directly killing a group of weaker dark figures.

Zhou Boping was not to be outdone. His Haori Yanxin Pupil suddenly erupted, also annihilating a large number of them.

But the surrounding walking corpses were too numerous, and the powerful ones had evaded their attacks.

Yue Jianfeng, Zhou Yan, and Yue Mengli were all on high alert, ready for battle.

"What are you doing?" Ye Yuan suddenly spoke, his voice sounding out of place.

Zhou Yan's gaze swept over coldly, and he scolded, "With so many walking corpses, are you blind?"

"Walking corpses? Where are there walking corpses?" Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.

Yue Lingyu and Zhou Boping were startled. They each closed their eyes, channeling their primal and soul power to the extreme. When they opened their eyes again, there were still many walking corpses surrounding them.

This was not an illusion!

"Can't you see? We are already surrounded!" Yue Lingyu said to Ye Yuan.

She was now uncertain whether she was trapped in an illusion or Ye Yuan himself had fallen into one.

Zhou Boping said in a deep voice, "This kid must be trapped in an illusion! Now that the enemy is upon us, we can't care about him. Whether he lives or dies is up to him!"

With that, Zhou Boping leaped forward and charged directly, engaging a Divine King-level expert.

Yue Lingyu's expression changed, and she said to Yue Mengli, "Li'er, I can't look after you now. Take care of Ye Yuan yourself, and hope we can break out of the encirclement!"

With that, Yue Lingyu also struck out fiercely, joining battle with another Divine King expert.

The two Divine Kings' attacks were incredibly imposing. But there were many other powerful experts lurking nearby, already advancing toward them.

"Yuan Ge, it's okay! With Li'er here, no one will hurt you!" Yue Mengli stood in front of Ye Yuan and said firmly.

On the other side, Zhou Yan watched this scene, grinding his teeth audibly.
